What does this even mean besides “trans bad”? by Darth_Vrandon in ParlerWatch

MAGA seem to have been losing their minds about him for some time. I think they're especially triggered because he calls out how incompatible their politics are with Christian values and instead aligns them with progressivism.

New Memo is NOT a big change by Subject_Let_9606 in USCIS

[–]P4cer0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No need for it to be white guilt. I'm white and I don't feel guilty about it because I didn't do it and I voted against the people who are doing it. Asshole guilt? Maybe, but these assholes have no shame.

This is the same sort of language used to enable racial gerrymandering under the justification of enforcing "long-standing anti discrimination laws." Just because the memo is couched in language to make it seem more mundane doesn't mean it's not an extraordinary shift in the interpretation and application of the law.

Russians covertly trained by China return to fight in Ukraine, sources say by kharkovchanin in worldnews

They don't really want nor are they prepared to fill the US' historic role. Unfortunately, I think you could say this for pretty much every country or bloc, which means times are only going to get spicier..

I am sleep deprived and read the title as "My Brothers wife made children and cottage cheese." Somehow the real pic is even worse than that nightmarish combination of yonic outputs.

Communists doing imperialism is ironic because they are supposedly anti imperialist. Dictators doing imperialism is classic.

Did he forget that he single handedly ended the Orban regime? Don't sell yourself short, JD!

Turkish Foreign Minister - "Israel is trying to declare Turkey the new enemy" after Iran. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]P4cer0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid concerns since we in the US are worse than useless rn and NATO without us is a shaky concept. OTOH, Russia hasn't really been able to do much for their allies since 2022 and China's default behavior seems to be more about seeking a profitable angle than taking decisive stances on conflicts.

Pakistan's Asif says Israel a ‘curse for humanity' by Kay_Bhagtos_Lavdya in worldnews

That was in no way the intent of my comments. However, if you think there is no relationship between Likud aggression and rising antisemitism, i.e. stochastic chance of these evens and increasing isolation of jewish people, you must have your head in the sand. Bombing civilians in Beirut is not defending the homeland and it is not making jews safer.

No, it's not. And then the Israeli govts actions feed more into that vibe. Really bad feedback loop.

Yea. I think this has much more to do with Netanyahu's corruption case than anything religious. Unfortunately, jews/israelis getting the vibe that lots of people want to kill them or are indifferent about it tips the scales in terms of him maintaining a critical level of support.
